Do not try to find out free space. On larger disks, finding out +the amount of free space takes up some non trivial amount of time, as +the whole FAT must be read in and scanned. The \fR\&\f(CW-f\fR flag bypasses +this step. This flag is not needed on FAT32 file systems, which store +the size explicitly. +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWb\fR\ +Concise listing. Lists each directory name or filename, one per line +(including the filename extension). This switch displays no heading +information and no summary. Only a newline separated list of pathnames +is displayed. +.PP +An error occurs if a component of the path is not a directory. +.PP +.SH See\ Also +Mtools' texinfo doc +.SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc +This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo +documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some +items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this +translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate +representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has +been translated into the manpage version.
